It's official: Ted is good.

AJ Hawk was never ever close to living up to being the 5th pick in the draft.

Colledge and Spitz cited? What?

Richard Rodgers had an impressive year? To who?

---I love the Pack but the person who wrote this is worse than a homer. The view of TT's drafts is very flawed.

I'm honestly surprised Demetri Goodson wasn't touted from our last draft the way this guy assessed things.

Just a pure propaganda piece. Zero objectivity save for the comment on Hawk.

EDIT: I just read the comments below the article at JSO...wow, some actual sane Packers fans who are objective. I was shocked. It looks like most of them realize how ridiculous that puff piece was and Ted Thompson is barely middle of the road. I really, really, loved the commenter who pointed out you have to hit every single year to build a juggernaut if you're not going to explore FA. Ted Thompson has had some absolutely BRUTAL drafts...furthest thing in the world from "stellar".

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Go look at the comments below...they are spot on. Some smart fans down there. Grading each draft individually looking back give a clear picture of him being nothing more than about average.

As for Ted Thompson being "middle of the road", I would have to say considering he's drafting at the back of each round that he has over acheived, you know, if I use your words and combine them with facts.

That's right this is a forum.
Where people come to discuss The Packers and give their opinions.

HOW MANY DAMN TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO POST THE SAME OLD DAMN STUFF.

We all get it, you don't like Ted Thompson, that's fine, for almost a year now all you have done is try and find the negative in every move, player and even fans.

You prove every Damn time you post that you don't have a clue what it takes to keep together a winning team.

You have no original ideas other than Ted Thompson SUCKS and shouldn't be GM.

why not try what most do here, express your opinion on a subject, then move on.

No you have to try and prove to everyone here that You ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, and you will stop at no lengths to try and prove it.

It's tiring and just plain spamming.

You don't like Ted Thompson.

Fine.

Guess what he is going to be around as long as he wants to be.

You can't deal with that, that is your problem.

One more to time.
WE ALL KNOW YOU DONT LIKE TED THOMPSON!

Please quit spamming EVERY DAMN THREAD.

You are not impressing anyone.

LOL at Buck and Nerd. I can't stand Brett Favre. The happiest day of my Packer fandom was the day he got traded to the NYJ. That was a hilarious move by TT. That is the most I have ever respected TT... shipping that arrogant waffling SOB to the Jets was pure deliciousness.

Steve...you ask what 15 GM's are better? Not indicated by my post. Go look at these "stellar" drafts of his and grade them individually. Come back and tell me how he's "stellar". It is beyond ridiculous to say he's "stellar" at drafting. He's very very good at UDFA players. His draft grades are NOT consistently above average. Stellar would indicate, to me, he's consistently excellent...the biggest homer would have to admit he's not been.

Buck...irony is lost upon you, obviously. If I'm hammering Ted Thompson then it's in response to this unbridled praise of him. There has to be a proportionate amount of Ted Thompson worship doesn't there? Yes, there does. I'm more tired of this Ted Thompson is so great talk than you are of me trying to debunk the lie. You guys repeat this garbage so often and have your ears tickled so often you fail to even begin to try being objective. You can call me whatever you like but I use my brain and wade through the BS spin put on TT's greatness. Packerland has the most milquetoast media of ANY NFL team. Outside of Bob McGinn, all Packer media is SPINELESS and HOMERISTIC. It's the nature of being part of Packers media. I can only imagine how Ted Thompson would be viewed if we swapped our fanbase for Philly's? It's great being optimistic and loving your team but to shut your mind off to reality is an entirely different subject. If you're happy there, I'm sorry. I'm not and will never tire of fighting the lie that Ted Thompson is some genius. I only wish we could see Ted Thompson minus Aaron Rodgers. Good luck to him, then. The smarter fan who commented under that ridiculous puff piece understands that where you don't.

I'm a bit in the middle on this. He's certainly amongst the top GMs in my book, but his drafting hasn't been spot on every year...

Thing is, none of the GMs drafting have been. A guy like Belicheck just always gets the right pieces in FA. Something we only do once every couple of years.
